Terrible advice, if you actually give a shite about your constituents. Tucker is the only leader who can get on TV. every GOP politician should be taking his approach.

It makes sense. But it may not be by design. My overall impression of Republicans at the national level is good ole fashioned, near complete lack of killer instinct.

This is why conservatives will always lose at everything. They refuse to fight for anything, and are allergic to power.

Only Trump speaks. The majority of Republicans are spineless.

They don't give a damn about winning.

They are probably ecstatic about how this will help future fund raising though.

Dan Crenshaw’s been on the natl news practically daily.

I wasn’t suggesting anyone should agree or disagree with him.

The question was, have the Republicans been quiet?
And I’m answering that Crenshaw has given interviews daily, along with releasing personally-created videos on social media.

Us in the red states and red cities with our GOP representatives are nice and comfy. Our economies are rolling, most of us are not scared of COVID and we don't give a shite about BLM.

Allowing the blue states to hang themselves is not a bad strategy

They have been quite but what is needed to be said? Any persons whose brain works can see all this stuff is stupid, planned, and not necessary. If you can't figure it out you are lost and hopeless any ways, trying to explain it to them won't help....ergo keep your mouth shut.

IMO the Dems tied the noose, thrown it over the rafters, and are standing on the chair. Come NOV, all we have to do is bump......

Conservatives will keep repeating this even as they are looking down into a mass grave with guns pointed at the back of their heads.

Trumps good at business but outside that he is a Turd. And yeah I want a business man in office. Conservatives do not have a unifying figurehead at this time. There’s has to be a spark that brings us together. The left is just good at manufacturing sparks.

It’s all about letting the Dems dig their holes deeper and you stand back and watch. Any Republicans taking action would be stupid. Let Seattle burn itself down and don’t give them any money.

Trump rallies starting back will solidify the base, not that it was shaking at all.

Silence might be best during this. You let the left attack each other and destroy things. Who in the middle wants to vote for that?

The Democrats have largely caved to the progressive totalitarian arm of the party that are are demanding that police funding be eliminated while they stalk social media profiles for any off color remark that they can use to get people fired/expelled/ruined. Meanwhile, anarchists have set up zones at least two very progressive leaning cities and are being led by a small time war lord - basically an adult sized pillow fort where police and parents aren't allowed, but no one inside is capable of providing for themselves.

Republicans need to keep quiet. This is solid entertainment, and they shouldn't do anything to hinder Democrats from shooting themselves in both feet.

I think the Democrats are waiting for the Trump administration to use force so they can martyr more people and claim that Trump is a dictator.

I think Trump is giving them rope to hang themselves. He is saying he is ready to take action, but only if the governors are not competent enough to handle the situation themselves. When he does come in, it will be because the mayors/governors couldn't do it themselves and Trump will make sure that everyone knows it.
